Day 2:  Tuesday, July 7th - Utah Jazz 83  Philadelphia/New Jersey 68 (Box Score)(Recap)

The Jazz bounced back from Monday's 31 point loss with an 83-68 victory over the split squad team of Philadelphia/New Jersey.  Josh Duncan and Eric Maynor each scored 12 points and Kevin Kruger chipped in 10 to lead Utah (1-1) to their first win in Orlando.  Chris Douglas-Roberts earned game high honors with 27, but he was the only member of the Philly/NJ team to score in double figures. 

• Eric Maynor finished with 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers.  He was 2 of 9 from the floor and 7 for 7 from the free throw line.
• Goran Suton finished with 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 0 turnovers.  He was 3 of 8 from the floor and 0 for 0 from the free throw line.
• Wesley Matthews and Dar Tucker combined to shoot 0 of 7 from the floor.  Through two games neither player has done enough to deserve consideration for a regular season roster spot.

Day 3:  Wednesday, July 8th - Indiana Pacers 95  Utah Jazz 79 (Box Score)(Recap)

The Jazz led by as many as eight points in the second half, but Indiana prevailed with excellent interior play from Tyler Hansbrough and Roy Hibbert.  Hansbrough scored a game high 24 points and  Roy Hibbert added 21 points and 8 rebounds to lead Indiana to a 3-0 Summer League record.  James Augustine led the Jazz with 12 points while Derrick Brown and Josh Duncan each chipped in 10, but it wasn't enough as Utah's record drops to 1-2.

• Eric Maynor finished with 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover.  He was 2 of 9 from the floor and 0 for 0 from the free throw line.  He never got into the flow of today's game.
• Goran Suton finished with 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 0 turnovers.  He was 2 of 8 from the floor and 0 for 0 from the free throw line.
• Wesley Matthews again got the start and contributed 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.  Dar Tucker finished 3 of 5 from the field for 7 points.
• Derrick Brown shot 50 percent from the floor and finished with 10 points.  It will be interesting to see if anything comes from his involvement this summer with the Jazz.
